So here is the hat measurements that I use most often, so for the Rasta hats, I would add a couple inches to the height of the measurement to
get it to be a Slouch Hat
Now the Circumference of the hat, you take your stitches per inch and multiply it by the measurement below, but then you add at least half more stitches if you can
to the total
So then when you work up the ribbing, you will have to decrease the stitches back down to what you get in the math above
Then decide on how long you want the ribbing to be, multiply that by the rows per inch you have
